    Thinking about getting into it post-pandemic on the weekends. Boston has a good busking scene and you don't need a permit.

    will probably do some acoustic guitar + singing and maybe some rapping...

    any buskers here with any advice or tips?

    Sounds like a cool thing to do, but you should go out with a microphone and rap about what you see, little freestyle etc. Idk about singing, never heard you singing yet.

    If you're a good singer definitely do singing or some type of melodic rap with acoustic background . No one wants to hear some random doing slam poetry or freestyles on the street. A good voice will attract many people. In vienna there is something called 'Subway stars'. Those are special spots in the subway system where upcoming talents can perform. Good voices tend to gain the most attraction, while rappers only lead to people going faster


    I'd give this man everything I have in my wallet. That's from NY though not Vienna

    Yeah that was my thinking process was if I rap keep it melodic and do it over my guitar. The only time I've enjoyed a random freestyle was outside of sports events some buskers have freestyles about the matches.
